THE NOTORIOUS LOVE AFFAIR - rough mix (Tape) self released 1996

Two years ago I did a The Notorious Love Affair posting and now another member contacted me about the unreleased song - acutally there are two unreleased songs!!! Old-timer Markus Haas from Per Koro1 has sent me a huge box with old demo tapes, rough mixes etc.. Among those was the cassette I was longing for: the rough mix of their recordings including two songs which did not make it onto the 7" record. As good as the four songs on the vinyl just the mix of all songs is still a bit weaker and less powerful than on the actual release.

Nice start to reactivated the blog again. Two years after the mentioned posting, one year after the last posting. Next one is in about ten years... ah, and sorry, I didn't see Total Abuse on Berlin's streets but it's a comical story anyway.

The last punk on campus.

I am a white-bread sucker.
I do not support the pirating of music in any way.
Everything posted here is for educational purposes and preserving since some things would be lost forever (being out of print, never been released on compact disc etc.) without doing so. It's also an ego blog: I post records from which I think they deserve to be mentioned, they do not belong to a certain canon nor might they fulfill someone's expectations concerning quality etc. - especially when it comes to the early/ mid 90ies era.
If you were in a band or did a label/ fanzine and you don' t want to have your stuff here: drop me a line. I will remove it immediatly. I strongly encourage you to buy those records (MP3s suck anyway)!
Most things that I post will fall into these categories:
1. old, rare and obscure stuff that never got circulated that much
2. stuff that was never released
3. old and new and stuff by friends of mine or people I know
4. records and zines related to the early/ mid 90ies
5. and of course: shirts

Important side note:

Stop sending annoying e-mails about selling records and shirts or even bullying concerning "re-ups"!
I will occasionally upload some of the stuff posted again and rework the postings with additional information and pictures.

Concerning downloads:

Everything posted here is available from free file host services; so they are not up for too long since they are deleting it after inactivity, reaching bandwith limit or even after a 7 days period.

The RIAA states that you have to delete all downloaded music after 24 hours. So what you are doing with those OGG/MP3 files is not my responsibility.
